Arsenal Have Striker Problems Both On And Off The Pitch

According to Metro, Arsenal’s Olivier Giroud admitted to having cheated on his wife just before the Gunners faced Liverpool in the FA Cup fixture. The Frenchman did so via Twitter and insisted he is now determined to try his best and make amends to all the people he hurt.

Giroud apologized not only to his wife and family but also to the club and his manager. The whole story started two weeks ago when the Gunner was spotted next to American model, Celia Kay. The Sun posted pictures of the Frenchman parading half-naked by the window of Miss Kay who later described her late night meeting with Arsenal’s player as being somewhere between loving and physical.


Not only will Giroud have to deal with some serious personal issues but he will also have to deal with the club’s management who will more than likely fine the Frenchman for not following curfew rules. Apparently his little slip-up happened between 12:00 and 3:00 AM which is just hours before facing Crystal Palace.

Wenger is in a really tight spot now considering Arsenal’s lack of fire power. It is very likely that Giroud’s form which was not brilliant throughout the past months will drop due to what is to come. Hopefully for the Gunners, the Frenchman’s family problems will not affect his game too much.

Giroud came on against Liverpool with only two minutes to go. He replaced Sanogo who just made his first appearance up front since August. The 27 year old was probably rested, his presence on the bench not being related to his recent off pitch behavior. It is almost certain Giroud will start on Wednesday against Bayern despite his personal problems.
